One thing I'm thinking of trying next is having packaging as a part of the build. I think it would be interesting to have a unit, for example, at src/debian, which depended on the application unit and then built a package automatically, but there are all sorts of issues like where to put support files - with the application, with the package, or separately in a resource unit (current favourite.)
With my Debian package maintainer hat on, I kindly ask you _not_ to do that. Upstream development and packaging for a distribution are two totally separated affairs, and mixing them only leads to huge headaches and duplication of efforts. -- Andrea Bolognani <eof kiyuko org> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
